For those with weak passwords on their email/web accounts please
consider changing them to a decent password - 6+ characters, no words
mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.

One of our periodic contributors has had their password cracked, they
are now on the paddlewise filter all contributions lists...

The spammers have been cracking into user accounts and spamming directly
to people's address books....
Just yesterday I was spammed by a friend with a cracked account.  He's a
nuclear scientist, who should have known better...
